Od Esports Sports: Liverpool didn't play very well before they got their current result, but they didn't make a big move in the squad either. Because they mainly believe that defenders such as Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez and midfielder Jordan Henderson will return to their previous form after injury; they spend all their transfer budget on a young centre-back (Ibrahim Konat), who has barely played so far, and they have not brought in midfielders to replace the departing Geonio Wijnaldum (psg) and Sherdan Shaqiri (Lyon).
Liverpool in 2018-19 (Premier League only): 2.55 points per game, 2.3 goals per game, 0.6 goals conceded, +1.2 xg difference per game for Liverpool in 2019-20. 2.61 points per game, 2.2 goals, 0.9 goals allowed, +0.9 xgd Liverpool in the 2021-22 season: 2.33 ppg, 3.0 goals allowed, 0.7 goals allowed, +1.8 xgd seems to be a team with high continuity, continue to integrate and find a higher level of play, right?
Liverpool have the best xgd in the Premier League, first in both goals and xg and third in both goals and allowed xg. They are only one point behind first-place Chelsea and you could say they are unlucky – in a 1-1 draw in August, their shots on goal were 24-6 (xg: Liverpool 3.4, Chelsea 0.7) and also produced more xg than Manchester City in the 2-2 draw in early October.
Liverpool are still battling some injury issues – only one midfielder (Henderson) has recorded more than 65 per cent of his available time in all games this season, with the other six being between 23 per cent and 65 per cent – but that doesn't matter at all. They remain unbeaten in the league, they have won three of their three games, almost qualified for the Champions League knockout rounds and have not actually lost a single game since their 1-0 win over Fulham on March 7.
